How an Online University Uses Technology to Prevent Faculty Plagiarism
Mar 14th, 2005From Business Wire.
The people who have condemned widespread student plagiarism are being found to be guilty of the same crime. Pervasive student plagiarism used to be the dirty little secret in higher education, but the plague of plagiarism by professors is the dirtier secret now being told.
A recent expose in a respected publication for higher education presented evidence that faculty plagiarism is probably widespread and that the academic community has done little to address it.
However, while technology has made pilfering prose easier than ever, technology exists that is making it tougher – when that technology is used. While gaining increasing acceptability for student work, the technology as yet remains relatively rarely used in ensuring faculty originality.
